Advanced Anatomy

Bone Clones, Inc. has produced a collection of medical quality casts especially for educators and practitioners in the medical community. We mold and cast only from first quality originals that meet our exacting criteria (in terms of size, dentition, age, and general condition of the bone elements). This process, coupled with our custom-formulated resin, allows us to produce replicas that reveal realistic, accurate detail. These products, whose selection and quality have been guided by advice from those in the medical profession, are a viable alternative to real bone, which can be costly and difficult to obtain due to ethical and legal complexities. Our collection includes medical quality skulls (e.g., calvarium, color-coded 7-piece, numbered), skeletons (from fetal to adult), cranial bones (e.g., temporal, ethmoid, ossicles) postcranial bones (e.g., pelvis, joints, vertebral columns, teeth, feet, hands), and sets. Many of these products have been reviewed by Evan Matshes, M.D. and co-author of Human Osteology and Skeletal Radiology, or by Karen Ramey Burns, Ph.D., forensic anthropologist and author of Forensic Anthropology Training Manual. Dr. Matshes and Dr. Burns have written evaluation reports of these products, documenting the skeletal description, analysis and assessment. We thank the many others in the medical community for their generous advice and recommendations.
